AutoHotKey False Positive?
in File Detections
Posted
I just recently downloaded and installed AutoHotKey, which can help remap keys and automate tedious tasks on Windows. It is open source and appears to be a completely legitimate program.
I believe MBAM gave me a false positive. Here is the log (ran in Dev mode):

The file in question is attached as a ZIP.
I did a search for "AutoHotKey" on these forums. Although I found one guy who used it and some malware that "incorporates" it as some sort of component, there does not seem to be a case of someone downloading the real program for everyday purposes and then getting an MBAM warning.
